Putting People First

BY JEFF FALK

It sounds like something way out there. It sounds like something impersonal. It sounds like something space-age.

Robotic surgery may not be exactly what it sounds like, but it does represent an advancement in medicine, a step forward in treating people.

“When I talk to patients, I think a fair number think that a robot is performing surgery, which is why I don’t like the name,” said Dr. David Vaughn, a board-certified general surgeon. “There is no robot doing surgery. What I do is laparoscopic surgery, which involves cutting small holes in the abdomen area. Robotic surgery is an advancement in laparoscopic surgery.”

An experienced laparoscopic surgeon, Vaughn has performed more than 2,000 robotic surgery procedures, about half of which have been done at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Lititz Hospital, 1500 Highlands Drive, Lititz. Vaughn performs

about 350 surgeries each year, about 140 of which are robotic in nature.

“The reason I like it is because I can do more advanced surgery with laparoscopic surgery,” said Vaughn. “It’s safer for patients, I’m faster and it’s easier. It makes it easier to do more fine movements and more complex surgeries. Patients generally have fewer complications and less pain associated with smaller incisions.”

“It’s also fun,” continued Vaughn. “It’s like driving a Ford Taurus or a Ferrari. I’d take the Ferrari every time.”

Robotic surgery involves using a console to control robotic arms linked to surgical tools in an operating room. The small incisions help make the surgery minimally invasive.

“The abdomen is inflatable, and you can operate inside an inflated abdomen,” said Vaughn. “We put air inside the abdomen cavity and inflate it so we have space to work. It’s like having mini wrists inside the abdomen. Robotic surgery

Poverty, certifications, education, language skills, self-enrichment.

All of those concepts and their implications are related and interrelated. All of those concepts and implications are relevant and intersect at the Literacy Council of Lancaster-Lebanon.

“I would add health to that list,” said Cheryl Hiester, who’s been the executive director of the Literacy Council of LancasterLebanon for 18 years. “There’s a correlation

between literacy and health. The ability to read and write English and fully participate in today’s world can impact every single aspect of an adult’s life. You can’t be fully engaged in your child’s education if you don’t have those skills. Those are signifi cant barriers.”

The Literacy Council of Lancaster-Lebanon, which is located at 407 Lafayette St., Lancaster, is dedicated to enriching lives and helping individuals reach their full potential through adult education. Not only does the local nonprofit promote the

Lititz Historical Foundation Sets Lecture

As part of its guest speaker series, the Lititz Historical Foundation will offer a presentation on the legacy of local distilling by local experts Ethan Smith and Jim Wolfe. The program will be presented on Saturday, Feb. 21, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Lititz Public Library, 651 Kissel Hill Road, Lititz.

From the early Moravians to modern times, the distilling of spirits has been an important part of the area’s history for generations. From small “mom and pop’s” to larger, commer -

cial operations, locally, this business has grown in more recent years. Smith and Wolfe will trace the early history of local distilling and also discuss the impact it has had on the economy and communities within central Pennsylvania and beyond.

Reservations will open on Saturday, Feb. 7. Call the library to reserve a seat at 717-626-2255 or visit https://calendar.lancaster libraries.org/event/lititz-histori cal-foundation-129305. Seating is limited.

The officers and committee representatives include Angela Stewart, president; Pat Wolf, vice president; Joanne Bender, recording secretary and publicity chair; Robert Snader, treasurer; James Kimmel, education; Douglas Gehr, museum and library; Penny

Literacy Council

concept of lifelong learning, it embraces it.

“We’re an agency who serves adults,” said Hiester. “They come to us to improve their basic skills. For many, they’re people who are new to the county and need to learn English. Anything you would’ve done in public education as a kid and didn’t get to do, you can do with us. We meet our clients where they are to make sure our instruction is meeting their needs, so they can take the next steps in their lives.”

The Literacy Council of Lancaster-Lebanon, which works closely with Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13, provides instruction in basic education skills like reading, writing, math, social studies and science and prepares students to acquire high school equivalency certifications.

The Literacy Council also offers a digital literacy program to help novices navigate the technology world and an international health care professionals’ program, which helps immigrant professionals like doctors and nurses obtain the skills and licenses required to practice medicine here.

The Literacy Council does not provide job training, but the orga nization does provide educational support for individuals preparing for job training and higher forms of education.

“There are a lot of people in the community who don’t have their high school diplomas,” said Hiester, a resident of Mount Joy. “The career awareness gives people an oppor tunity to learn about the oppor tunities available to them. Some employers require high school cre dentials to hire individuals. If you want to go on to higher education, you need that credential. Others may want to show their children the importance of education. Most people don’t drop out of school on purpose.”

enrolled in school.

“They are people who want to improve their lives through education,” said Hiester. “They want to get better jobs. They want to continue their educations. They want to improve their credentials or Americanize their educations.

Thirty-five percent of the students we serve have a diploma. The people who come to us are a diverse group.”

Hiester said that there are currently 55,987 working-age adults living in Lancaster County who do not possess a high school diploma. About 22% of Lancaster County’s 380,144 adult residents or 83,631 individuals are functioning at or below Level 1 literacy.

Hiester also said that, on the average, 100 hours of adult education corresponds to about $9,621 a

Club Holds Holiday Banquet, Food Drive

The Ephrata Cloister Toastmasters Club recently gathered for its annual holiday banquet and food drive at the Olde Lincoln House restaurant. The attendees enjoyed fellowship as they shared stories that inspired laughter and reflection. This year, proceeds from the food drive were donated to the Lititz Warwick Community Chest to support local needs.

Toastmasters International is a nonprofit educational organization that teaches public speaking and leadership skills. The Ephrata club is one of a worldwide network of more than 13,800 Toastmasters clubs in 150 countries. Since 1924, Toastmasters has sought to help people from diverse backgrounds become more confident speakers, communicators, and leaders.

The Ephrata Cloister Toastmasters Club meets every second and fourth Monday at 6:15 p.m. at the WellSpan Health Pavilion in Ephrata. Interested individuals are encouraged to attend a complimentary introductory meeting. For more information, call 717-715-9234.

gives surgeons four arms instead of two.”

YOU TASTE IT

“We put a camera in the belly, and that’s our eyes,” he added. “When I do robotic surgery, I hold two instruments and someone holds the camera. It makes it so much easier. Another benefit of robotic surgery is all the images are 3D, not 2D. The cameras we put in the abdomen have two cameras, and I’m seeing 3D images.”

Typically, Vaughn employs robotic surgery for procedures involving things like hernias, colons, thyroids, gallbladders and skin lumps and bumps. Robotic surgery is also used by orthopedics, urologists, gynecologists, pediatricians and head-and-neck surgeons.

“The goal, obviously, is to make people better,” said Vaughn, a resident of Manheim Township. “As a doctor, you’ll treat the problem. The great thing about being a surgeon is I get to fix people. When I’m through, you’re cured. There’s a lot of satisfaction as a surgeon because we’re curing people and not just treating them. That’s why I chose surgery over other forms of medicine.”

Vaughn has always been good with his hands, and he genuinely cares about people and their well-being.

“My grandfather and great-grandfather were both doctors,” said Vaughn. “I had a flavor of that growing up. I got to see them taking care of patients. It’s been something I’ve been

around since I was 5 or 6 years old. I’ve always wanted to be a doctor.”

“Doctors solve problems, and I like fixing things,” Vaughn added. “I grew up in a household where my dad taught me how to fix things. It was very satisfying. Fixing things with my hands was like, ‘I did that.’ That’s where my decision to be a surgeon came from.”

Before moving to Lancaster County in 2010, Vaughn lived in Doylestown, where he grew up. He’s been a doctor for 21 years, 16 of which have been as a surgeon.

“I view medicine as a science, but there’s also an art to medicine,” said Vaughn. “A lot of it is knowing patients and interacting with patients. The art of medicine is interacting with patients. They have to trust you, and they have to believe in you. I really enjoy when patients are excited about the care they have been provided. It warms my heart. It makes me go to work every day.”

“The greatest evolution I’ve gone through is patience,” Vaughn continued. “Developing patience is important. I’ve solidified my methods in gaining the trust of my patients. I’ve learned how to explain things to my patients. I tell my patients, ‘This is something we’re going to figure out together.’”
